Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   Old-Fashioned Red Candy Apples
   8 medium sized apples
   8 wooden sticks
   3 cups white sugar
   1/2 cup light corn syrup
   1 cup water
   1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
   1/4 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)
   Wash and dry the apples. Remove any stems or leaves and insert a wooden stick into the end of each apple. Set apples aside.
   Heat and stir sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan until sugar has dissolved. Boil until the syrup reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer, or until a little syrup dropped into cold water separates into breakable threads.
   Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon and food coloring, if using.
   candy_apples (16K) Dip one apple completely in the syrup and swirl it around a little with the stick to coat. Hold the apple above the saucepan to drain off excess. Place apple, with the stick facing up, on a well greased pan.
   Repeat with remaining apples. If syrup thickens or cools too much, simply reheat briefly before proceeding. Let cool completely before serving.
   Variations: After coating each apple, quickly dip the end or press and swirl apples in shredded coconut, colored M&M’s, chopped nuts, granola or colored sprinkles.

   This is the easiest for the hard shell candied applies. In the grocery store, right by the apples, or at the end of the aisle, there are packets with everything in it to make them. If you can’t locate, just ask the produce guy!
   Good luck
